Last week our study reminded us that YHWH Elohim hears our prayers and groanings and will also deliver us from our burdens, wars, famine, and wild beasts of the earth (Comment: germ warfare most likely- such as swine flu, avian flu, aids etc) of the One World Order, U.N. and world’s wealthy ruling elite who have determined a world population reduction of at least 80%! We should again see how YHWH will remember His Covenant with us who are willing to turn and obey Him and receive His blessings of deliverance as He does this for us with an “outstretched arm also! (Exo 6:2) And Elohim spoke to Mosheh and said to him, “I am יהוה. (Exo 6:3) “And I appeared to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai. And by My Name, יהוה was I not known to them? (Exo 6:4) “And I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Kenaʽan, the land of their sojournings, in which they have sojourned. (Exo 6:5) “And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Yisra’ĕl whom the Mitsrites are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. (Exo 6:6) “Say, therefore, to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am יהוה, and I shall bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites, and shall deliver you from their enslaving, and shall redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments, (Exo 6:7) and shall take you as my people, and I shall be your Elohim. And you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites. (Exo 6:8) ‘And I shall bring you into the land which I swore to give to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give it to you as an inheritance. I am יהוה.’ ” (Exo 6:9) And Mosheh spoke thus to the children of Yisra’ĕl, but they did not listen to Mosheh, because of shortness of spirit, and from hard slavery.

Truth Seekers, we have studied and reviewed much about the coming darkness and fiery trials we can expect in the days ahead. Please do remember the Scriptures declare this Exodus will be a far greater deliverance than even Moses and Israel crossing the Red Sea. Can we even imagine: a 1000 ‘ (approx 300 meters) wall of water on both sides of us or 100 story building high of water and – we escape but our enemies are drowned? That is the waters depth where the chariot wheels and wreckage of Pharaohs’ army were discovered; (see: www.wyattmuseum.com) our deliverance will be greater! Thank you for your prayers and intercession as I am meeting part of our family of loved ones in South Africa with meetings all the way up the Indian Ocean from Capetown to Richard’s Baii (Bay) and they are delightful people indeed! They are Ephraim of Dutch, British German and French descents! You would love them also, no doubt!

Once again we need to remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are “Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? (Who is my family?)

(Matthew 12:49) And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH! /Instructions) we are Yahshua’s (Jesus) family!

We should also realize a truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY OF AFFLICTION we would recognize and become aware of the fact that we have added to and subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also known as the Great Tribulation in the last days. This isn’t the “Jews” Trouble- it is everyone grafted into Israel by faith in Yahshua- all 12 tribes!) (YHWH reveals truth as we get closer and closer and need to know) These are lies that really don’t please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect! (Jer 16:19) O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

(Deu 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.

There it is in a nutshell once again. You are family if you are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your Creator- more than you want acceptance from men and their traditions. This group would include us who are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing to decrease as He increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves you and I to do the changing, Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24) Then said Yahshua to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

We must be willing to humble ourselves and accept the engrafted word when we discover truth. This losing our life for Him is not just physical. As we are changed into His image we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

(Exo 10:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, so that I show these signs of mine before him, (Exo 10:2) and that you relate in the hearing of your son and your son’s son what I have done in Mitsrayim, and my signs which I have done among them. And you shall know that I am יהוה.” (Exo 10:3) And Mosheh and Aharon came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, ‘Till when shall you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they serve me. (Exo 10:4) ‘Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, see, tomorrow I am bringing locusts within your borders. (Exo 10:5) ‘And they shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land. And they shall eat the rest of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field. (Exo 10:6) ‘And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Mitsrites, which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh. (Exo 10:7) And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “Till when would this one be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they serve יהוה their Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?” (Exo 10:8) And Mosheh and Aharon were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve יהוה your Elohim. Who are the ones that are going?” (Exo 10:9) And Mosheh said, “We are going with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we are going, for we have a festival to יהוה.” (Exo 10:10) And he said to them, “Let יהוה be with you as I let you and your little ones go! Watch, for evil is before your face! (Exo 10:11) “Not so! You men go now, and serve יהוה, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh. (Exo 10:12) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Mitsrayim for the locusts to come upon the land of Mitsrayim, and eat every plant of the land – all that the hail has left.” (Exo 10:13) And Mosheh stretched out his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and יהוה brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. Morning came, and the east wind brought the locusts. (Exo 10:14) And the locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim and settled within all the borders of Mitsrayim, very grievous. There had never been locusts like them before, nor would there again be like them. (Exo 10:15) And they covered the surface of all the land, so that the land was darkened. And they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left, and no greenness was left on the trees or on the plants of the field, in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 10:16) Pharaoh then called for Mosheh and Aharon in haste, and said, “I have sinned against יהוה your Elohim and against you. (Exo 10:17) “And now, please forgive my sin only this once, and pray to יהוה your Elohim, that He would only turn away this death from me.” (Exo 10:18) And he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to יהוה. (Exo 10:19) And יהוה turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them into the Sea of Reeds. Not one locust was left within all the border of Mitsrayim.

In Great Tribulation there are 5 months of darkness but I bet we will have light!

(Exo 10:20) However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go. (Exo 10:21) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even a darkness which is felt.” (Exo 10:22) And Mosheh stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days. (Exo 10:23) They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, while all the children of Yisra’ĕl had light in their dwellings. (Exo 10:24) And Pharaoh called to Mosheh and said, “Go, serve יהוה, only leave your flocks and your herds behind. Let your little ones go with you too.” (Exo 10:25) But Mosheh said, “You yourself are to provide us with slaughtering and burnt offerings, to prepare for יהוה our Elohim. (Exo 10:26) “And our livestock are to go with us too, not a hoof is to be left behind, for we have to take some of them to serve יהוה our Elohim, and we ourselves do not know with what we are to serve יהוה until we come there.” (Exo 10:27) However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he would not let them go. (Exo 10:28) And Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Watch yourself and see my face no more, for in the day you see my face you die!” (Exo 10:29) And Mosheh said, “You have spoken rightly – never again do I see your face!” (Exo 11:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “I am bringing yet one more plague on Pharaoh and on Mitsrayim. After that he is going to let you go from here. When he lets you go, he shall drive you out from here altogether. (Exo 11:2) “Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, objects of silver and objects of gold.” (Exo 11:3) And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites. And the man Mosheh was very great in the land of Mitsrayim, in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people. (Exo 11:4) And Mosheh said, “Thus said יהוה, ‘About midnight I am going out into the midst of Mitsrayim, (Exo 11:5) and all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the first-born of the female servant who is behind the hand mill, and all the first-born of cattle. (Exo 11:6) ‘And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitsrayim, such as has never been or ever be again.(Exo 11:7) ‘But against any of the children of Yisra’ĕl no dog shall move its tongue, against man or against beast, so that you know that יהוה makes distinction between Mitsrayim and Yisra’ĕl.’ (Exo 11:8) “And all these servants of yours shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people at your feet!’ And after that I shall go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in great displeasure. (Exo 11:9) But יהוה said to Mosheh, “Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, in order to multiply my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.” (Exo 11:10) And Mosheh and Aharon did all these wonders before Pharaoh, however, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.

Note that the month of Abib and the Passover month is the Rosh Hashanah Not the one Judaism made up to deny Yahshua, moving it to Feast of Trumpets!

(Exo 12:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, (Exo 12:2) “This month is the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of the year for you. (Exo 12:3) “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. (Exo 12:4) ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb. (Exo 12:5) ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats. (Exo 12:6) ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings. (Exo 12:7) ‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. (Exo 12:8) ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. (Exo 12:9) ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts. (Exo 12:10) ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire. (Exo 12:11) ‘And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Passover of יהוה. (Exo 12:12) ‘And I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night, and shall smite all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am יהוה. (Exo 12:13) ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 12:14) ‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה throughout your generations – observe it as a festival, an everlasting law. (Exo 12:15) ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisra’ĕl. (Exo 12:16) ‘And on the first day is a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh day you have a set-apart gathering. No work at all is done on them, only that which is eaten by every being, that alone is prepared by you. (Exo 12:17) ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law. (Exo 12:18) ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening. (Exo 12:19) ‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, that same being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, whether sojourner or native of the land. (Exo 12:20) ‘Do not eat that which is leavened – in all your dwellings you are to eat unleavened bread.’ ” (Exo 12:21) And Mosheh called for all the elders of Yisra’ĕl and said to them, “Go out and take lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and slaughter the Passover lamb. (Exo 12:22) “And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin, and you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.

Passover allows the blood of the Lamb to stop the works of the Destroyer! Pray a bloodline around your family, home, belongings and watch!

(Exo 12:23) “And יהוה shall pass on to smite the Mitsrites, and shall see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and יהוה shall pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. (Exo 12:24) “And you shall guard this word as a law for you and your sons, forever. (Exo 12:25) “And it shall be, when you come to the land which יהוה gives you, as He promised, that you shall guard this service. (Exo 12:26) “And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’ (Exo 12:27) then you shall say, ‘It is the Passover slaughtering of יהוה, who passed over the houses of the children of Yisra’ĕl in Mitsrayim when He smote the Mitsrites and delivered our households.’ ” And the people bowed their heads and did obeisance. (Exo 12:28) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went away and did so – as יהוה had commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did. (Exo 12:29) And it came to be at midnight that יהוה smote all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the first-born of livestock. (Exo 12:30) And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a house where there was not a dead one. (Exo 12:31) Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yisra’ĕl. And go, serve יהוה as you have said. (Exo 12:32) “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall bless me too.” (Exo 12:33) And the Mitsrites urged the people, to hasten to send them away out of the land. For they said, “We are all dying!” (Exo 12:34) And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders. (Exo 12:35) And the children of Yisra’ĕl had done according to the word of Mosheh, and they had asked from the Mitsrites objects of silver, and objects of gold, and garments. (Exo 12:36) And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites, so that they gave them what they asked, and they plundered the Mitsrites. (Exo 12:37) And the children of Yisra’ĕl set out from Raʽmeses to Sukkoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones. (Exo 12:38) And a mixed multitude went up with them too, also flocks and herds, very much livestock. (Exo 12:39) And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened, since they were driven out of Mitsrayim, and had not been able to delay, nor had they prepared food for themselves. (Exo 12:40) And the sojourn of the children of Yisra’ĕl who lived in Mitsrayim was four hundred and thirty years.

(Exo 12:41) And it came to be at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to be that all the divisions of יהוה went out from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 12:42) It is a night to be observed unto יהוה for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This night is unto יהוה, to be observed by all the children of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations. (Exo 12:43) And יהוה said to Mosheh and Aharon, “This is the law of the Passover: No son of a stranger is to eat of it, (Exo 12:44) but any servant a man has bought for silver, when you have circumcised him, then let him eat of it. (Exo 12:45) “A sojourner and a hired servant does not eat of it. (Exo 12:46) “It is eaten in one house, you are not to take any of the flesh outside the house, nor are you to break any bone of it. (Exo 12:47) “All the congregation of Yisra’ĕl are to perform it. (Exo 12:48) “And when a stranger sojourns with you and shall perform the Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and perform it, and he shall be as a native of the land. But let no uncircumcised eat of it.

YHWH Elohim is No respecter of persons, same Torah (Instructions) for native born and those grafted in!

(Exo 12:49) “There is one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who sojourns among you.” (Exo 12:50) And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did. (Exo 12:51) And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.

Feast of Unleavened Bread and the month of Abib (stage of fruitfulness of barley to allow Firstfruits following Passover and Unleavened Bread!)

(Exo 13:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exo 13:2) “Set apart to me all the first-born, the one opening the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.” (Exo 13:3) And Mosheh said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of hand יהוה brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be eaten. (Exo 13:4) “Today you are going out, in the month Aḇiḇ. (Exo 13:5) “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you in the land of the Kenaʽanites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month. (Exo 13:6) “Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a festival to יהוה. (Exo 13:7) “Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you within your entire border. (Exo 13:8) “And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of what יהוה did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’ (Exo 13:9) “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim. (Exo 13:10) “And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to year. (Exo 13:11) “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kenaʽanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, (Exo 13:12) that you shall pass over to יהוה every one opening the womb, and every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to יהוה. (Exo 13:13) “But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom. (Exo 13:14) “And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage. (Exo 13:15) ‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go, that יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am slaughtering to יהוה every male that open the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’ (Exo 13:16) “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.” (Exo 13:17) And it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that was nearer, for Elohim said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting, and return to Mitsrayim.” (Exo 13:18) So Elohim led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Sea of Reeds. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 13:19) And Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him, for he certainly made the children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring my bones from here with you.” (Exo 13:20) And they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ětham at the edge of the wilderness. (Exo 13:21) And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.

(Exo 13:22) The column of cloud did not cease by day or the column of fire by night, before the people.

Fear NOT Ephraim! Where you are scattered I will gather you!

(Jer 46:13) The word which יהוה spoke to Yirmeyahu the prophet, about the coming of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel, to smite the land of Mitsrayim: (Jer 46:14) “Declare in Mitsrayim, and let it be heard in Miḡdol. And let it be heard in Noph and in Taḥpanḥes. Say, ‘Stand fast and be prepared, for a sword shall devour all around you.’ (Jer 46:15) “Why were our strong ones swept away? They did not stand because יהוה drove them away. (Jer 46:16) “He made many stumble; indeed, they fell over each other, and said, ‘Arise! Let us go back to our own people, and to the land of our birth, away from the oppressing sword.’ (Jer 46:17) “There they cried, ‘Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by!’ (Jer 46:18) “As I live,” declares the Sovereign, whose Name is יהוה of hosts, “For as Taḇor is among the mountains, and as Karmel by the sea, he shall come. (Jer 46:19) “O you daughter dwelling in Mitsrayim, prepare yourself to go into exile! Noph shall become a waste and a ruin, and be burned, without inhabitant. (Jer 46:20) “Mitsrayim is like a very pretty heifer, but destruction comes, it comes from the north. (Jer 46:21) “Her hired ones too, in her midst, are like fattened calves, for they too shall turn, they shall flee away together. They shall not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment. (Jer 46:22) “Its sound moves along like a serpent, for they move on like an army and come against her with axes, like woodcutters. (Jer 46:23) “They shall cut down her forest;” declares יהוה, “for it is not searched, because they are more numerous than locusts, and without number. (Jer 46:24) “The daughter of Mitsrayim shall be put to shame. She shall be given into the hand of the people of the north.” (Jer 46:25) יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, has said, “See, I am bringing punishment on Amon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Mitsrayim, and on their mighty ones, and on their sovereigns, and on Pharaoh and on those trusting in him. (Jer 46:26) “And I shall give them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel and into the hand of his servants. And afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares יהוה. (Jer 46:27) “But as for you, do not fear, O My servant Yaʽaqoḇ, and do not be discouraged, O Yisra’ĕl! For look, I am saving you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity. And Yaʽaqoḇ shall return, and shall have rest and be at ease, with no one disturbing. (Jer 46:28) “Do not fear, O Yaʽaqoḇ My servant” declares יהוה, “for I am with you. Though I make a complete end of all the gentiles to which I have driven you, yet I do not make a complete end of you1. But I shall reprove you in right-ruling, and by no means leave you unpunished.” Footnote: 1See 46:28, Isa. 34:2, Isa. 45:17, Dan. 2:44, Amos 9:8, Hag. 2:22.

Seriously judge ourselves or He will! Never did Messiah command us to celebrate His birth…He wants us to celebrate Passover! (His death)

(1Co 11:20) So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Master’s supper. (1Co 11:21) For, when you eat, each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk. (1Co 11:22) Have you not houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the assembly of Elohim and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise! (1Co 11:23) For I received from the Master that which I also delivered to you: that the Master יהושע in the night in which He was delivered up took bread, (1Co 11:24) and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” (1Co 11:25) In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in my blood. As often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of me.”

(1Co 11:26) For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Master until He comes. (1Co 11:27) Whoever should eat this bread or drink this cup of the Master unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Master. (1Co 11:28) But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. (1Co 11:29) For the one who is eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to him, not discerning the body of the Master. (1Co 11:30) Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. (1Co 11:31) For if we were to examine ourselves, we would not be judged. (1Co 11:32) But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1Co 11:33) So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. (1Co 11:34) And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I shall set in order when I come.

Wickedness.

(Judges 19:1) And it came to be in those days, when there was no sovereign in Yisra’ĕl, that there was a certain Lĕwite sojourning on the further side of the mountains of Ephrayim. And he took for himself a concubine from Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah. (Judges 19:2) And his concubine committed whoring against him, and went away from him to her father’s house at Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, and was there four months. (Judges 19:3) And her husband arose and went after her, to speak to her heart and bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. And she brought him into her father’s house. And the father of the young woman saw him, and he was glad to meet him. (Judges 19:4) And his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, detained him, and he dwelt with him three days. And they ate and drank and spent the nights there. (Judges 19:5) And it came to be on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning. And he prepared to leave, but the young woman’s father said to his son-in-law, “Refresh your heart with a piece of bread, and afterward go your way.” (Judges 19:6) So they sat down, and the two of them ate and drank together. And the young woman’s father said to the man, “Please agree to stay all night, and let your heart be glad.” (Judges 19:7) And when the man arose to go, his father-in-law urged him. So he spent the night there again. (Judges 19:8) And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to go. But the young woman’s father said, “Please refresh your heart.” So they delayed until afternoon, and both of them ate. (Judges 19:9) And the man arose to go, he and his concubine and his servant. But his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, “See, the day is now drawing toward evening. Please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end. Stay here, and let your heart be glad. And you shall rise early tomorrow for your journey, and you shall go to your tent.” (Judges 19:10) But the man would not stay that night. And he arose and left, and came to a place opposite Yeḇus, that is Yerushalayim. And with him were the two saddled donkeys, and his concubine with him. (Judges 19:11) They were near Yeḇus, and the day was far spent. And the servant said to his master, “Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Yeḇusites and spend the night in it.” (Judges 19:12) And his master said to him, “Let us not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Yisra’ĕl. But we shall pass over to Giḇʽah.” (Judges 19:13) And he said to his servant, “Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Giḇʽah or in Ramah.” (Judges 19:14) And they passed over and went their way. And the sun went down on them near Giḇʽah, which belongs to Binyamin, (Judges 19:15) and they turned off there to go in to spend the night in Giḇʽah. So he went in, and he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into his house to spend the night. (Judges 19:16) But see, an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, which also was from the mountains of Ephrayim. And he was sojourning in Giḇʽah, whereas the men of the place were Binyamites. (Judges 19:17) And when he lifted up his eyes, he saw the traveler in the open square of the city. And the old man said, “Where are you going, and where do you come from?” (Judges 19:18) And he said to him, “We are passing over from Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah to the other side of the mountains of Ephrayim. I am from there, and I went to Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, and I am going to the House of יהוה. But there is no one taking me into his house, (Judges 19:19) yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and bread and wine for myself, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servant; there is no lack of any matter.” (Judges 19:20) And the old man said, “Peace be with you! However, let all your needs be on me, only do not spend the night in the open square.” (Judges 19:21) And he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank. (Judges 19:22) They were making their hearts glad, and see, men of the city, sons of Beliyaʽal, surrounded the house, beating on the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house, so that we know him!” (Judges 19:23) But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers! I beg you, do no evil! Since this man has come into my house, do not do this folly. (Judges 19:24) “Look, here is my maiden daughter and the man’s concubine. Let me bring them out now, and humble them, and do with them what is good in your eyes, but do not do such a foolish matter to this man!” (Judges 19:25) But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and rolled themselves on her all night until morning, and let her go when the day began to break. (Judges 19:26) And as morning appeared the woman came back and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her master was, till it was light. (Judges 19:27) And her master rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, and saw his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold. (Judges 19:28) And he said to her, “Rise up and let us go.” But there was no answer. Then he took her on the donkey, and the man rose and went to his place, (Judges 19:29) and came into his house and took a knife, then laid hold of his concubine, and cut her up limb by limb into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Yisra’ĕl.

Wickedness with rape and murder…as in the days of Noah (wicked) will be the coming of the Son of Man…righteousness must rise up. It was against a priest (His wife) so it was also a spiritual attack.

(Judges 19:30) And it came to be that all who saw it said, “There has never been, and there has not been seen the like of this, from the day that the children of Yisra’ĕl came up from the land of Mitsrayim until this day. Set your heart on it, take counsel, and speak up!” (Judges 20:1) And all the children of Yisra ’ĕl came out, from Dan to Be’ ĕrsheḇa and from the land of Gilʽaḏ, and the congregation assembled as one man before יהוה at Mitspah. (Judges 20:2) And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of Elohim, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword. (Judges 20:3) And the children of Binyamin heard that the children of Yisra’ĕl had gone up to Mitspah. And the children of Yisra’ĕl said, “Speak up, how did this evil come about?” (Judges 20:4) And the man, the Lĕwite, husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, “My concubine and I went into Giḇʽah, which belongs to Binyamin, to spend the night. (Judges 20:5) “And the masters of Giḇʽah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night because of me. They thought to kill me, but instead they humbled my concubine, and she died. (Judges 20:6) “Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the land of the inheritance of Yisra’ĕl, because they committed wickedness and folly in Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:7) “Look, you are all children of Yisra’ĕl, speak and give your counsel here!” (Judges 20:8) And the entire people rose as one man, saying, “Let not one of us go to his tent, nor any of us turn back to his house. (Judges 20:9) “And now, this is what we do to Giḇʽah: go against it by lot. (Judges 20:10) “And we shall take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make food for the people, to prepare for their going to Giḇʽah in Binyamin, for all the folly they did in Yisra’ĕl.” (Judges 20:11) And all the men of Yisra’ĕl were gathered against the city, knit together as one man. (Judges 20:12) And the tribes of Yisra’ĕl sent men through all the tribe of Binyamin, saying, “What is this evil that has come about among you? (Judges 20:13) “And now, give us the men, the sons of Beliyaʽal who are in Giḇʽah, so that we put them to death and put away evil from Yisra’ĕl!” But the children of Binyamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:14) The children of Binyamin gathered together from their cities to Giḇʽah, to go to battle against the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:15) And from their cities at that time the children of Binyamin registered twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Giḇʽah, who registered seven hundred chosen men.

(Judges 20:16) Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed, each one could sling a stone at a hair’s breadth and not miss. (Judges 20:17) And besides Binyamin, the men of Yisra’ĕl registered four hundred thousand men who drew the sword, all of these were men of battle. (Judges 20:18) And the children of Yisra’ĕl rose and went up to Bĕyth Ěl to ask of Elohim, and they said, “Who of us go up first to battle against the children of Binyamin?” And יהוה said, “Yehuḏah first.” (Judges 20:19) And the children of Yisra’ĕl rose in the morning and encamped against Giḇʽah. (Judges 20:20) And the men of Yisra’ĕl went out to battle against Binyamin, and the men of Yisra’ĕl put themselves in battle array to fight against them at Giḇʽah. (Judges 20:21) And the children of Binyamin came out of Giḇʽah, and on that day cut down to the ground twenty-two thousand men of the Yisra’ĕlites.

(Judges 20:22) But the people, the men of Yisra’ĕl, strengthened themselves and again formed the battle line at the place where they had put themselves in array on the first day. (Judges 20:23) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up and wept before יהוה until evening, and asked of יהוה, saying, “Should I again draw near for battle against the children of my brother Binyamin?” And יהוה said, “Go up against him.” (Judges 20:24) And the children of Yisra’ĕl drew near to the children of Binyamin on the second day. (Judges 20:25) And Binyamin went out against them from Giḇʽah on the second day, and cut down to the ground eighteen thousand more of the children of Yisra’ĕl – all these drew the sword. (Judges 20:26) And all the children of Yisra’ĕl, even all the people, went up and came to Bĕyth Ěl and wept, and sat there before יהוה and fasted that day until evening. And they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before יהוה. (Judges 20:27) And the children of Yisra’ĕl asked of יהוה – the ark of the covenant of Elohim was there in those days, (Judges 20:28) and Pineḥas son of Elʽazar, son of Aharon, stood before it in those days – saying, “Should I yet again go out to battle against the children of my brother Binyamin, or should I cease?” And יהוה said, “Go up, for tomorrow I give them into your hand.” (Judges 20:29) And Yisra’ĕl set ambushers all around Giḇʽah. (Judges 20:30) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up against the children of Binyamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Giḇʽah as at the other times. (Judges 20:31) And the children of Binyamin came out to meet the people – drawn away from the city. And they began to smite some of the people, slaying, as at the other times, in the highways, of which one went up to Bĕyth Ěl and the other to Giḇʽah in the field, about thirty men of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:32) And the children of Binyamin said, “They are going to be smitten before us, as previously.” But the children of Yisra’ĕl said, “Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways.” (Judges 20:33) And all the men of Yisra’ĕl rose from their place and put themselves in battle array at Baʽal Tamar. And the ambush of Yisra’ĕl broke forth from their position at Maʽareh Geḇa. (Judges 20:34) And ten thousand chosen men from all Yisra’ĕl came against Giḇʽah, and the battle was fierce. But they did not know that calamity was close to them. (Judges 20:35) יהוה smote Binyamin before Yisra’ĕl. And the children of Yisra’ĕl destroyed twenty-five thousand one hundred men on that day in Binyamin – all these drew the sword. (Judges 20:36) And the children of Binyamin saw that they were smitten. And the men of Yisra’ĕl had given ground to the Binyamites, because they trusted in the ambush that they had set against Giḇʽah, (Judges 20:37) and the ambush hurried and came against Giḇʽah, and the ambush spread out and smote the entire city with the edge of the sword. (Judges 20:38) And the appointed signal between the men of Yisra’ĕl and the ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city, (Judges 20:39) then the men of Yisra’ĕl would turn in battle, and Binyamin began to smite dead about thirty of the men of Yisra’ĕl. For they said, “They are indeed smitten before us, as at the first battle.” (Judges 20:40) Then the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, and the Binyamites looked behind them, and saw the entire city going up in smoke to the heavens. (Judges 20:41) And when the men of Yisra’ĕl turned back, the men of Binyamin were troubled, for they saw that calamity was close to them. (Judges 20:42) And they turned their backs before the men of Yisra’ĕl toward the way of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, while those who had come out of the cities were destroying them in their midst. (Judges 20:43) They surrounded the Binyamites and pursued them, and with ease trampled them down as far as the front of Giḇʽah toward the east. (Judges 20:44) And there fell of Binyamin eighteen thousand men – all of these were mighty men. (Judges 20:45) And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. And they cut down five thousand of them on the highways, and followed after them up to Giḏom, and smote two thousand of them. (Judges 20:46) And all who fell of Binyamin that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword, all of these were mighty men. (Judges 20:47) But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they dwelt at the rock of Rimmon for four months. (Judges 20:48) And the men of Yisra’ĕl turned back against the children of Binyamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. And they set fire to all the cities they came to.

Wickedness prevailed among Benjamin (a tribe of Israel and chosen) as the defended evil acts and YHWH judged them and it continues here. Look at the mercy of YHWH to restore His family, the 12 tribes!

(Judges 21:1) And the men of Yisra’ĕl had sworn an oath at Mitspah, saying, “Not one of us shall give his daughter to Binyamin as a wife.” (Judges 21:2) So the people came to Bĕyth Ěl, and sat there until evening before Elohim, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly, (Judges 21:3) and said, “O יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, why has this come about in Yisra’ĕl, that today there should be one tribe missing in Yisra’ĕl?” (Judges 21:4) And it came to be on the morrow, that the people rose early and built an altar there, and brought burnt offerings and peace offerings. (Judges 21:5) And the children of Yisra’ĕl said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl who did not come up with the assembly to יהוה?” For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to יהוה at Mitspah, saying, “He shall certainly be put to death.” (Judges 21:6) And the children of Yisra’ĕl were sorry for Binyamin their brother, and said, “One tribe is cut off from Yisra’ĕl today. (Judges 21:7) “What do we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by יהוה not to give them our daughters as wives?” (Judges 21:8) And they said, “Which one of the tribes of Yisra’ĕl did not come up to Mitspah to יהוה?” And see, no one had come to the camp from Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ to the assembly. (Judges 21:9) For when the people called a roll, see, not one of the inhabitants of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ was there. (Judges 21:10) And the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their bravest men, and commanded them, saying, “Go, and you shall smite the inhabitants of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ with the edge of the sword, even the women and children. (Judges 21:11) “And this is what you do: Put under the ban every male, and every woman who has known a man by lying with him.” (Judges 21:12) And they found among the inhabitants of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ four hundred young maidens who had not known a man. And they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Kenaʽan. (Judges 21:13) then the entire congregation sent, and spoke to the children of Binyamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them. (Judges 21:14) And Binyamin turned back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ. But even so there were not enough for them. (Judges 21:15) And the people were sorry for Binyamin, because יהוה had made a breach in the tribes of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 21:16) And the elders of the congregation said, “What do we do for wives for those who remain, since the women have been destroyed out of Binyamin?” (Judges 21:17) And they said, “There is an inheritance for the survivors of Binyamin, and no tribe is to be destroyed from Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 21:18) “But we are unable to give them wives from our daughters, for the children of Yisra’ĕl have sworn an oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the one who gives a wife to Binyamin.’ ” (Judges 21:19) so they said, “See, there is a yearly festival of יהוה in Shiloh, which is north of Bĕyth Ěl, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bĕyth Ěl to Sheḵem, and south of Leḇonah.” (Judges 21:20) And they commanded the children of Binyamin, saying, “Go, lie in wait in the vineyards, (Judges 21:21) “and watch. And see, when the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, and then you shall come out from the vineyards and every man catch a wife for himself from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Binyamin. (Judges 21:22) “And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we shall say to them, ‘Favor us with them, because we did not take a wife for any of them in battle, neither have you given them to them, making yourselves guilty of your oath.’ ” (Judges 21:23) And the children of Binyamin did so, and took enough wives for their number from those who danced, whom they caught. Then they went and returned to their inheritance, and they rebuilt the cities and dwelt in them. (Judges 21:24) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went from there at that time, each one to his tribe and clan. And they went from there, each one to his inheritance. (Judges 21:25) In those days there was no sovereign in Yisra’ĕl – everyone did what was right in his own eyes1. Footnote: 1See 17:6, and Deut. 12:8.
